“I have been a teacher at Tender Care Learning Center for over two years and during that time I have gained a lot of experience and friendships that I will have forever.  I have been given many opportunities to practice leadership and apply what I have learned.  The happiness and joy that I feel as I walk into my Preschool classroom is amazing.  To watch the children in Preschool grow and accomplish milestones reminder me how important my position is here at my school.  As I approach my third anniversary I think back and think of all the wonderful memories I have created here.  The management team has mentored and invested time and efforts into helping me become a great and confident teacher”.  ~Lynnsey H.
